Peggy Lee Cooper
Peggy Lee Cooper - World famous, in Belgium.
If she hadn't started young on vodka and cigars, she might have been the new Celine Dion, but she's
definately not. Next to her, Darth Vader sounds like a 12 year old soprano.
Peggy Lee Cooper is like her voice : dark, gritty, purring, screaming, often off key.
Cabaret performer, entertainer, MC, jazz singer, comedienne, playwright, writer, actor, director,
video producer, she has a lot of fingers in a lot of pies. And other strange places.
For nearly 15 years, her unique style, halfway between a very high Bette Midler and a
totally waisted Tom Waits, made her a National Treasure. In Belgium. Well, you gotta start
somewhere, right ?
She is often compared to Eartha Kitt, or Marlene or... a walrus.
"Peggy Lee Cooper is like Tom Waits, in a dress, with a VERY good make up"
(Tricity Vogue, cabaret artist, London)
"You smoke too much"
(Sandra Kim, Eurovision Song Contest winner, Belgium)
« The Muse of the National Theatre »
(Fabrice Murgia, former Director of the National Theatre)
"When you sing, it's like the mating

Om mig
Under en sommar i Hälsingland introducerades jag för trolleri när jag fick rollen som trollkarl i open air-teatern "Trolska skogen". Sedan dess har jag spridit magi vid olika evenemang både i Sverige och Tyskland. Vid SM i trolleri erövrade jag 2:a platsen både i komisk magi och scenmagi.
Fascinationen för trolleri och illusioner har alltid varit närvarande, och jag älskar att skapa ögonblick där publiken både skrattar och njuter av den magiska och oförklarliga stunden. Oavsett om magin utförs som mingeltrolleri på nära håll eller i form av en trollerishow på scen, är det en garanterad stämningsskapare bland gästerna.
Mitt upplägg anpassas alltid efter era individuella önskemål, och jag kombinerar gärna close-up magi med en underhållande magisk scenshow. Humor och lättsamhet är kärnan i mitt trolleri, och mitt mål är att skapa en oförglömlig stund under ert event.
